Development of the movement

The first Guide company in
Grenada was set up at the Church of England High School in 1925. Other Guide
companies were soon formed, and the first Brownie packs were introduced in 1927
and the first Ranger company in 1928. In 1936 the government gave the
Association a piece of land as the site for its headquarters.

Guiding had started well in
Grenada but political problems in the following years slowed down the
development of the Movement. Until 1983 Grenada was a Branch Association of the
Guide Association (UK), but that year the United Kingdom granted Grenada
self-government in all areas of work.

In 1985 the Association held its
first international camp, attended by neighbouring Caribbean Associations.
During the next few years trainers and advisers from WAGGGS and the United
Kingdom visited Grenada to help the Association to develop its programme and a
firm structure. Guiding is now active in most parishes, with the majority of
units attached to schools and a few to churches and communities.

In 1989 the first Rainbow unit
was started in a small village called Binchgrove in the largest parish, St.
Andrew.
